The event is the largest meeting of public health professionals in the United States. During the session, Woodson talked about what the Department of Defense is doing to improve the health of its population. As DoD has been active in the development and implementation of the National Prevention Strategy, APHA was interested in Woodson’s insights on how to improve the health and wellness of more than 9.5 million members of the American military community.
